My minimum wage proposal: eliminate the minimum wage entirely and don't require employers to report income that's less than, say, the current minimum wage. McDonalds and WalMart won't drop their wages and a host of $5 manual labor jobs will spring up overnight. And since it's not reported you get to keep all of it (but the business can't write it off, either, which is a feature not a bug).

I've got plenty of work out on my land for which I'd gladly pay $5 an hour - but not $12, plus bonds, plus insurance, plus unemployment tax...so I guess I'll just be greedy and keep my money.
